Don't defeat Putin in Ukraine but outside Ukraine by breaking Putin financially.
1. Putin ran a kleptocracy and an Oligarch structure
2. Because Putin and oligarchs fear their wealth will be taken back if the govt collapse. They launder it outside Russia through safe havens
3. But it turn out most of these safe havens are western countries.
4. Confiscate this ill gotten wealth and cut off Russian economy.
5. Once the money is gone there is no honor among thieves. These oligarchs will blame Putin for his stupid war and the best way to have a chance to get back the money is get rid of Putin.
6. Putin due to his paranoia will take action and sow discord among the Oligarchs..either they die or he die.
Putin best move now is to negotiate away the sanctions.
If the sanctions remain it will destroy his govt.
In a sense the West has already won taking advantage of Putin and his oligarchs weakness od laundering money out of Russia and parking it in western countries.
The war I believe after read through alot of profile of Putin's background has nothing to do with NATO or old Soviet glory.
He need to fight these wars for victory to shore up support at home. If he loses power he will be hunted down as a criminal because of the money he and the oligarchs have stolen.
Long term whether he wins in Ukraine means nothing for Russia long term. Russia has a hollow economy that mainly exports oil and gas, no bigger than half of California. ....holding on to more land when it already has biggest land mass in the world is insignificant
The puppet autocrat in Belarus almost collapse last yr and the one in Kazakhstan collapsed. That is Putin main fear iss losing power before his death.
He attacked Ukraine to gain a victory to shore up support at home.
However, he miscalculated and sanctions will ceuah his economy and Ukrainian resistances will make sure he has no quick victory.
His destruction is already seeded.
The West should not give him a way out.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
